Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 tsp Almond flavoring
- 3 cups All purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- Red food coloring
- ¼ cup Nonpareils sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter and sugar. Cream until smooth.
- Add in the egg, vanilla and almond (if using). Mix thoroughly.
- Add in the flour, salt and baking powder. Mix well, scrape down the sides and mix again.
- Divide the dough in half. Tint one half red until the desired shade is reached.
- Roll out each half of the dough so that it is about ½-⅝ of an inch thick.
- Layer one half on top of the other and roll again to press the two sheets of dough together.
- Carefully, roll up the long length of the dough like you would cinnamon rolls. Cut off the jagged edge if needed to even out the dough.
- Using a baking sheet with sides, place the nonpareil sprinkles in the pan and then gently roll the log of dough and press the sprinkles into the dough.
- Using a serrated knife or a piece of baking string, cut ½ inch thick slices of cookie dough. Place the slices cut side up on the parchment lined baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool before removing from the baking sheet.
